Church of the 15th-16th centuries (which may have served as a castle chapel), modified in the 17th or 18th century (doubling of the nave). The church is surrounded on three sides by a cemetery; it is dominated to the west by a porch tower with three arcades. Inside, a 16th-century wooden retable cloisonné painted and gilded represents scenes from the life of Christ.
